Understanding the manual swap would be difficult, and I have a 4EAT trans, would I be able to swap a 5EAT in with relatively less complications than a manual swap?

I understand they do come either way. I meant to say I have the auto too btw. I'm just curious for my own knowledge what would really have to go into that kind of job. Plus down the road once I pay my car off and loose the warrenty I'd like to look into swaping an 09 STi engine and trans (and associated parts) to extend the life of my 4th gen Legacy body.

Can someone explain why it's so difficult (apparently) to do a manual swap into a 2.5i. I have an 09 2.5i manual and keep wondering why (I've heard) it's so annoying/difficult?
